A concerned group of residents in Auckland's Beach Haven district have come together to voice their issues surrounding plans to build apartments in the area.
The group, 'We Oppose The Cresta Ave Beach Haven Development' have met to discuss stopping this development, as they're concerned about "bedroom commuters" setting up in the region.
Leader and spokesperson Crispin Robertson says the Beach Haven community won't suit apartment living and the waste pipes aren't the right size to support the scale of the development.
"It's not big enough for the current state of affairs. There's upgrades planned in the future, but I think everyone in the community is feeling like it's the cart before the horse."
